Welcome! Enjoy my music. Spraggy
Spraggy, born Nevinson Cuffy on the 18th of November 1962, in Point-Michel, on the English-speaking Island of Dominica (Commonwealth of Dominica), came to realize his life would be dedicated to music and that he would have a message to convey. By the age of 20 known as "The man with the golden voice", under the nickname Spraggy, he released his first album "Blessing From Above" (Kufe Records) followed soon afterwards by "Bad Boys", which led him to move to Paris in 2000 until 2008 where he settled in Bordeaux France until present day.
In 2005 Spraggy recorded the "Rub A Dub" song (Sowan Records, Naive) as part of a compilation project and performed at the Elysée Montmartre in Paris celebrating the release of this new single.
In 2010, Spraggy released his first self-produced album "Sunshine Country" in France, distributed by Believe and highly acclaimed by critics upon its release. A powerful roots reggae opus, recorded and mixed by Nicolas Selambin and Jah Tool at 129H Studio in Paris, then mastered by Marc Baronner at Bass Galore Productions in Amsterdam. In 2011, he composed and recorded with Feldub then Producer, DJ and co-founder Label Banzaï Lab in Bordeaux. The artistic fruit of their collaboration, mastered by Alexis Bardinet of Globe Audio Studio, was released the same year on the label and entitled "FELDUB Meets SPRAGGY - A So It Go". In 2012 & 2014 after Spraggy had recorded with Dubveda, for LaboxProd, it evolved an obvious artistic collaboration with Nagual X, where he featured on Albums "Illegal Dubplates" &" Green Warriors"(Laboxprod, Auto Production).
After touring Europe for a few years and playing at major events like Solidays Festival, Live Planet Bob Marley Tribute in Paris, Reggae Sun Ska Festival in the south of France, as well as smaller venues or charity concerts, Spraggy has been very busy writing lyrics for his catalog of new songs which he has now finished recording, and which are currently being mixed and mastered, ready for release!
These "special 2020/2021/2022 years” gave Spraggy the opportunity to release 10 singles and a Special Dub Sessions 7 tracks Edition of the Sunshine Country album in a remixed Dub format. He also released 5 titles on Hologram Records for their Darkives project release with Ting A Ling as focus track.
